Will my doctor cancel surgery if I used meth the night before?

There is a high probability that he/she will because the drug you have taken may interact with the anesthetic that will need to be administered to you for the operation. It is very important that you tell your doctor /anaesthetist that you have used meth so that they can take this into account when assessing the safety of the operation for you (you would not want to die on the operating table!) - it may be that they can take the meth into account although they will be concerned that they do not know how much you have taken or what else may have been contaminating the drug you took.

Do ER doctors get paid by the amount of patients that are seen?

Perhaps it seems that ER physicians work on a "commission" basis because of the relatively short time they spend with their patients. These physicians are usually not on the payroll of the hospital, they are members of a "pool" of a private medical group who often rotate among several hospitals on a contract basis. As such, they are not reimbursed on a "per-patient" basis. They are paid by the number of hours they are staffed in that hospitals' ER. (This also explains why you often receive a separate bill from this ER group, in addition to one sent by the sponsoring hospital.)

How do you treat fungal infection?

Since most fungal skin infections are surface infections, antifungal treatments are usually applied directly to the skin in the infected area (topical treatments). There are a variety of treatments available in the form of creams, lotions and medicated powders. If the rash covers quite a large area of skin, or affects the nails or scalp, then tablets may be required.

Does doctor have to transfer a hospitalized patient?

Yes and no.

The doctor is employed by the patient or his representative. If a patient decides to employ a different doctor then that new doctor can take over care of the patient whenever he or she chooses to do so (the new doc does not have to accept the patient). If that new doctor is at a different facility (hospital or nursing home) and agrees to accept the transfer then the patient can compel a transfer.

The vast majority of times the old doctor and the transferring facility will cooperate and assist in this process, however, they do not need to do so. They can leave it up to the patient to find and arrange for the accepting doctor and facility and to arrange transport. Also, the transport may or may not be covered by insurance depending on the situation.

So yes, if a patient wants to leave one facility and go to another or merely switch doctors he or she has the right to do so.

But no, the current doctor is under no obligation to do this for the patient or even be helpful.
